Answer:
Gerald now owns 1,395 shares at $2.03 per share.
Explanation:
Gerald originally owned 465 stocks, but after the stock split he will own 465 x 3 = 1,395 stocks. His basis though will not change, it will be the same $2,831. So the basis per share = $2,831 / 1,395 stocks = $2.029 ≈ $2.03 per stock. Stock splits do not alter the basis of a portfolio, it only increases the total number of stocks.
The amount of shares Gerald now owns is 1,395 shares and the price per share is $2.03.
When there is a stock split, the number of stock outstanding is increased by a constant number. When there is a stock split 3 for 1, for every 1 stock a shareholder owns, the shareholder now owns 3 stocks.
Number of shares owned = 465 x 3 = 1,395 shares
When there is a stock split, the value of the stock declines per share.
Value per share = $2831 / 1395 = $2.03
